So I Applied at AOL...

... at the call center here in OKC. Inbound Sales. Anyone ever worked for them?

I have a hard time even typing the sentence "applied at AOL", but fuck, it pays good, has good benefits, and they're hiring, so I'll sure as fuck take it if I can.

One thing I thought was interesting was that I was asked (forced) to sign, click confirm, and even verbally asked, no fewer than a dozen times, to acknowledge that, if hired, I would be agreeing to work any shift, any time, any day, and any holiday. I was like, "Fuck! I got it the first time!"

Evil corporation or not, it's a steady paycheck and benefits, and that's awesome. Good luck!

sounds a little fascist...but what ever pays the bills.

A job's a job man...

Don't know about AOL, but I've got friends who work at Road Runner, more in the internal tech support area though. From what I understand most of the major communications companies/ISPs treat their employees pretty well.

Good luck with it though.

At least now you can work on taking the machine down from the inside.

Hey Keith -- I worked for AOL in Albuquerque about 2 years ago. If you want more info on them feel free to email me

I'm now wondering if I take you off my friends list now, or wait till you're hired. Either way, mommy said i shouldn't be friends with TEH DEBIL (read: AOL)

It's just a job. [sniff]

I'm joking sweetie, i'd cut off my leg to work whipping children in sweatshops, if it meant actually having a job

or throwing kittens out of a 40 story window (does this job exist?)


so yeah....is there an AOL in sacramento?

tell them to stop sending me cds....dammit

but this is NEW AOL 9.0!!! YOU REALLY HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT!!

..sorry, just practicing.

if you have to call a automated system and just want to talk to someone about a problem, press "_" for the sales department and have them transfer you. its always 10 million times faster.

Any company with Jerry Stiller in their commercials can't be that bad.

you could tell snoop's heart was into that appearance as well. snoop just doesnt say no to anyone, does he.

That's certainly one perspective.

Good luck!

good luck cutie!

I was actually wondering how much they paid him.

I'm in InfoSec so actually I consider AOL the true Evil Empire, but hey, dude's gotta work...and Jerry Stiller is a stone pimp.

That's the 'I know, I know! You are entitled to butt-fuck me whenever you like, get on with it!!' clause, signed in dodecacate (or whatever the word is for 12 copies)...

Dude you will hate it!!! Trust me!

good luck with getting the job. AOL or not, a good job is a good job!

Most likely, but if I can stand it for a couple of months it will damn sure solve a lot of problems. Plus it's right down the street from my house.

Did you read the fine print where it said, you agree to give up your first born, your mothers diamond ring when she dies and your left toe at thier discretion?

P.S. Do you get to keep your soul?
